Cullen in for crunch clash

CHRISTIAN CULLEN will make his first appearance for Munster for over a year tonight, when he lines out at full-back for the crucial Celtic League game against Border Reivers at Netherdale (7.30).

Munster fans, mindful of the upcoming Heineken Cup final against Biarritz, will be hoping the injury-prone full back can successfully come through his first serious game and perhaps lighten the team’s current injury load.

With such a critical game following Munster’s historic win over Leinster last weekend, coach Declan Kidney has had to carefully manage his squad.
